ind a good deal more nmuslng than "Major

Last nights performance proved some
thing else Anybody who had read the play
knew It was about nix times more worth
hearing linn any otln r piece likely to deco
rate our season But no mere reader could
have guessed that the slightly "unpleasant
taste of It on tho printed pago would evan
' (bco completely on the stage That Is the
keenness of Shaw's dramatic knowledge and
the fullness of his skill Young ovorbred
whelps that go Into l.vsterlcs; fathers that
unconsciously propose to their sons' girls;
married men that tako up violently with un
known Polish lady icrobats In their own
homes, young ladles who beg their fiances
friends to chase them through the hrncken
and kiss them j poor dov lis of clerks w ho get
miserably foiled in nttempts to nsonsalnato
the men who ruined their mothers nil these
things don't occur to the reader us exactly
enlivening I.o and behold I In tho flesh and
blood of tho playhouse theso persons and tho
things they do take on the divine liululgenco
of the flesh and tho diviner pathos, vigor
and ludlcrousncss of tno spirit
That Is tho thing that stands out of
"Misalliance' , not tho wit or tho Ingenuity
of the situation, but tho humanness of tho
people It was here that Shaw first began
to touch that slmplo quality of lifo which
he has developed moro and more In each
succeeding play John Tarleton, of Tnrlc

trick of telephoning or wiring to announce
his approach: his "superabundance of vi

DIARY OF A WELL-DRESSED GIRL
t XTTE'Bn at sixes and sevens these dajs
YV"?ora tho-Jncomparable," our cook, has
the grip and wa couldn't find another to
help us out until she gets better. Mother
and I are now holding forth In tho kitchen
Dad Is complimentary enough to say that
he has never been fed so well In his life,
whllo our two visitors, Peggy Crawford and
Leslie Warden, have "scandalous" appe
tites The first dinner I had to cook all by my
lonesome, ns mother waB at Aunt Kath-
ryn's when N'ora ws taken III I decided
i to have a "fussy" dessert with whipped
cream trimmings The cream behaved ver'
; badly and spattered all over my frock, strlk-
, ng the very Bpots that weren't protected
by my white bib-apron This calamity
j taught me the lesson that one should never
', 'ry to cook without wearing an apron that
' completely covers the frock
The next morning I sent Leslie downtown
to bay some blue-and-whito plaid gingham
I charged her to get plenty of material, as
the cover-all apron would tako as many
yards as a frock
I made a plain, gored skirt that fits
moothly over the hips, taking care to
match the plaid design perfectly It opens
at the side, and Leslie sewed the snap fast
ners In place, hemmed the skirt and
stitched the waistband to the top.
When cutting out the bodice I used a
Plain shirtwaist pattern which opened down
the front. But Instead of making the front
to two pieces I laid the pattern along the
folded edge of the material so that It would
M In one Then I slashed It Just far
nough to permit slipping It over the head,
Jle a middy blouse
The sleeves are of elbow length and set
ta at the normal armholes I bound the
opening In the front on the under Bide of
the blouse with an Inch-wide bias strip of
the gingham, and Leslie buttonhole-stltohed
eyelets, through which 8he laced a black
cord.
I made a sailor collar of white linen for
JJw pointed neckline and sewed it in place
This touch of white was so effective that
i decided to make 'turned -back cuffs of the
linen, They are three Inches wide and give
J,ftty finish to the sleeves.
Then I made a strap belt two and a half
wchts wide and drew It through four
arrow loons of the linen T1m loops
are placed one at each hide of the back
od front
To relieve the plainne of the bodice I

Indcflntble brimmed with whimsies grnce
fu and one must repeat, "charming"
Yes even In his moods thnt do not touch

for dellcato lingering of character and In
cident Barrio is still Barrle Prom whit
other dramatist would ono tolerate a piece
that begins with a long aside progresses

sequenco of loosely linked episodes, nnd per
mits bad cigars given some ono bj his sl-der
to bo mado tho baBls of a joke" Uocs

to stretch out an Improbable tale of an
absent-minded scientist and his lovc-lnsplr-Ing
secretary to tho breaking point and

tions which Barrle docs not nsk us to dis
pense , ho takes them boldly and makes

bit of drollery about a lad s hat, or thi
difference between a slnglo man and a
bachelor "Wc aro trapped In tho net of his
splilt and rejoice In the glad necessity of
our mirth '
This comedv which Mr Arllss and a
better-thnn-usual company aro playing at
the Broad W as tho star said In his llttlo
Impromptu speech last night, not tho great
est play that Barrle has written But all
who seo It may well concur in Barrio's
own opinion that It Is amusing It Is some
times naive Tho machinery of that scene
In the field Is as obvious ns a toy a child
makes for himself nnd as Intriguing Tho
Professor Is as unlikely ns the Judge In
"Leonora" and ns unspeakably attractive
The plotting of the action Is ns ingenuous
ns that of 'The Comedy of Krrors," and
vustlj- more precious
As wo have said, it Is extremely well
acted I'ven thoso who were going to tho
Broad In tho carl)" hundreds, and who hold
dear the memories of the late V S AVlIlard,
admitted that much Mr Arllss is a charm
ing Goodwlllle It Is not a moonstruck man
that he makes of tho professor The fine
tints and occasional broad brush strokes of
his talent turn the electrician Into n por
trait of comic appeal, without too much
high light on tho lovelorn part of the pic
ture The gentle voice, tho cleverly studied
gesture, tho abstraction In furrowed face
nnd bent form combine In tho drenmj whole
of the creature And for this quiet, careful
impersonation there Is excellent company In
tho brisk nnd not too sweet Lucy of Miss
Maude , In tho bustling Kflio of Miss Pear
son: In tho doctors of Messrs Stewart nnd
Eldred, and the less important but fully as
spirited sketches by the rest of tho cast It
Is n rousing good revival of a play bj a
genius To miss It Is to miss a pearl (albeit
a small one) on the rosary of romance

A really "smart" apron for
housework wear.
trimming of the bodice called for a similar
trimming on the skirt, so I stitched a larger
patch on each side of the front
Leslie embroidered the buttonhole on the
belt, sewed the flat pearl button in place,
bound the seams of the armholes and the
apron was finished
I made a Dutch cap with a crown of
gingham and a brim of white to complete
this "smart" kitchen costume.
Now, whipped cream can spatter and
grease may sputter, but It can do no damage
to my frocks. Quite the most surprising
tbjng of all, however Is that this cover-all
lias such an air of smartness about It It
proves that one doesn't need to look "a
fright when playlDg tlw role of cook.

Donald Brian. Ivy Sawyer In the Utta
role sang In pale pastel tones nnd dressed
In attractive pastel shades; but she acted
vivaciously her prima donna part and pre
Rented ono of the most fetching pictures In
face nnd form that the "musical-show"
Rlnge has boasted for long time A lad,
Arthur Lowrle with n voice between hajr
nnd grass, as Mr Hitchcock described It.
waB faintly reminiscent of Laddie Cliff,
and seemed to get as much fun out of his
Juvenile part as the nudlenco did The
others were mainly niters, most of them en
gaged for tho lightness of foot and grace
of pose they displayed In tho tripping meas
ures of numerous dances
Mr Hitchcock was n anllant host of
Momus and supplied his quaint and In
dividual comedy to make laughs where the
librettists had omitted to sow the Beed of
smiles That Is a useful function In "shows"
mnde merely for entertainment Maybe It'a
an art By that token Mr Hitchcock Is an
nrtlst Ills entracte "speech" In the fern
of n travestv on Billy" Sunday was a
masterpiece of satire It's worth tho cost
of entrnhec W It M.

tuated with lively music

vaudeville nets built to please varying tastes.

out the show Kor tho last half of the
